But yeah, Koichi basically got an S-Rank this time around. Saved Pop, stopped Six, dodged Endeavor, and avoided any kind of casualties. He made a plan and some contingencies, and came out almost unscathed.
For romance, I think the endgame is definitely Pop. She's been built up almost since the beginning (though I've seen some Tensei/Koichi stuff out there lmao), and while Makoto's the mature one with a steady career Koichi's basically guaranteed to pull a Holland Spider-Man and stick with the small town gigs. Frankly, part of me is still wondering if we aren't gonna get a whole "actually I wasn't talking about love, lol" fakeout from Makoto's end. We never did hear that conversation in full, did we?
